ALASKA CIR THAN BUILD A FOUNDATION, TOO. | There was a sign in a savings bank window the | other day which said: “If you dream castles in the air, save and put a foundation under them.” Once there was a young man who had always dreamed of being wealthy. As a boy he pictured | himself dressed in the height of fashion, snappy cut | to his clothes, and all that, walking down Main | Street. People on the sidewalk would point him out, | saying, 7es, there's Sam Green, young fellow, but| smart. Y sir, smart. Ow: t big house on the hill, and has a good pile salted down already. | M be worth $100,000.” So Sam, as an initial step toward wealth, saved, and after a time reached his first goal, the $1,000! goal after which, 'tis said the money just grows. But about this time Sam got a girl, and then he wanted to makea splurge. He wasn't going to| take her into any little two by four house; he was going to have that house on the hill. So Sam | began looking around for ways to help that sX,OOOf grow, and like many a thrifty young man, bought wildcat stock. And the $1,000 | was gone and with it Sam's dream of the hnusvl’ on the hill and all the rest To return to the ad in the bank window, “If you dream castles in the air, save and put a founda- tion under them.” But be sure the is a solid one. ALASKA GAINS, ANYWAY. A recent Washington, D. C., news despatch pub- lished by le Post-Intelligencer said Rey entative Ralph Horr of Seattle told the House today that a Seattle Prohibition Agent formerly stationed at Tacoma, “was a common thief. | “I asked Mr. Woodcock to fire him and | he would not,” Horr said. The Washington Representative did not name the agent. He began his remarks by saying: “We have a Prohibition Agent in the City of Seattle who was run out of the Territory of Alaska. He came down to Tacoma and was caught there the other day by the Sheriff as he backed his machine up after a raid and loaded down his automobile with linens and silver' »—a common thief. Then he was transferred to my own city.” So far as know, not a single Prohibition Agent has been “run out” of Alaska, although pos- sibly it was deserved. We are fortunate, however, in being rid of such an individual as described by Mr. Horr. Too bad Seattle and Tacoma have to be afflicted with him, but his transfer was a distinct gain to the Territory. we THE DEVIL THAT BECAME TAME. | The Police Gazette, once regarded by many as unfit for perusal by the respectable, and probably the original “pink sheet” this country, has ceased to e cently ending 85 years more or less of existence as a weekly journal by the filing of a petition of involuntary bankruptey. There was little startling about the periodical in recent years, when other and more lurid weeklies and dailies started publication, and scantily clad females, once almost exclusively featured by the Gazette, adorned the pages of even the more sedate newspapers and magazines There were many years when this was almost sive feature of the Police Gazette. It began tion in 1845 as a weekly and until early in February it never failed to issue regularly. Under the direction of Richard Fox, beginning in 1876, it reached its heydey. One of its mythical writers exploded the underworld, and the magazine was prideful that it could always find bigger and more sensational sins than even the crusading divines It was the arbiter of all disputes on It was most frequently to be shops and pool halls where each inclined awaited its distribution time. subjects of that rtively but too unpauen(il foundation |fairs Six seems a modest number, but the requirements for enroliment are formidable. A letter addressed to high school principals mentions as examples of pre- cocity such men as Jeremy Bentham, Lord Byron, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Napoleon Bonaparte, John Stuart Mill and Mozart. North- western University is looking for lads of similar ability to develop from a prodigious youth to a suc- cessful maturity. History proves that it can be done. But history has little or nothing to say of the effects which may follow from assembling half a dozen prodigies in one education hothouse. Byron, Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin were similar only in the fact that they had a brilliant boyhood. They might have got along very badly as classmates, even under the auspices of a modern university. Up to now, at.any rate, no one has come forth with a suggestion that failure to re-elect Mr. Hoover next November will cause business to take a slump. When the nation’s business was riding the crest of the prosperity wave it became a fixed habit to bemoan the fact that Congress had to meet annually. Now, it's different. Business like everything else looks to Congress for material relief, At the risk of being considered rude, we re- mind you that Tuesday, March 15, is the last day of grace for mailing income tax reports. And Uncle Sam needs the money badly. Kidnaping. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Kidnaping has become one of the most ominous crimes in the list of modern racketeering. The aura of picturesque, though evil, colorful romance may surround the Albanian, Greek, Balkan and other bandits of desert and mountain terrain and fast- ness, who immemorially have held prisoners to ran- som. But there is nothing romantic, attractive or picturesque in this form of outlawry as practiced in American cities. it has become recognized to be a cold-blooded busi- ness activity, with murder callously = designed in case the demanded ransom is refused or for any reason cannot be turned over to the criminals— the victim will be killed in order to facilitate escape, or as a measure adopted by the outlaws in the ef- fort to avoid discovery. This being true, the crime hould rank with the crime of murder—be made a capi offense. The kidnaping of the infant son of Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh gives striking evidence of the urgent need of a Federal statute covering this savage and most heinous offense—an offense which strikes with heartless diabolism at the hearts and souls of the innocent connections of its victims. A movement to secure the early enactment by Congress of such a law now is under way. Kidnap- ng should be made a Federal offense and punished a capital crime. This penalty particularly should be exacted in the case of kidnappers of children. It is impossible adequately to describe in mere words the dreadful anxiety and sorrow which must grow out of such fiendish depredations. Current Events at Kake. (Ketchikan Chronicle.) What's going on in the world doesn't puzzle the pupils of the Kake school as much as it does| students at the University of Washington. So, at least we, assume from the information contained in the current bulletin of the Office in Alaska, which states that a list of ten questions prepared by the University of Washington Daily did not stump the youngsters of Kake nearly as much as it did 90 studehts in the Seattle insti- tution of so-called higher learning. The questions were: Who are Grandi and Gandhi? Who is the outstanding Democratic can- didate for President? Who is the Vice-President of the United States? When is the next Presidential election? Who is Prime Minister of England? Who Is Pierre Laval? Who is the political leader of Russia? Where is Manchuria? Who is Mayor of Seattle? Who is Mayor of Chicago? The 90 students at the university who took the test flunked—every one of them—with an average of 48 per ¢ent. But at Kake, according to Principal Edward L. Keithahn, the eighth grade students aver- aged 33, ranging from 10 to 60; the ninth grade averaged 40 and the tenth grade averaged 70 per cent. Twenty-five per cent of the students taking the test passed it. The highest grade was 80 per cent, which means that only two of the questions were answered incorrectly. As Mr. Keithahn pointed out, students had a handicap not only in being better educated but in the fact that they were asked the identity of the Mayor of their own city! Comfort for Cold-Catchers. (Manchester Guardian.) About once a year enthusiastic messages from the other side of the Atlantic inform the world that an American millionaire has left a vast fortune which is to be applied to the' investigation of the cause and cure of the common cold. The informa- tion is always announced as news, but experienced observers note with a sigh that it is the same millionaire, the same fortune—and the same cold. In the meantime presumably the same research continues—and with the same results, for on this subject the medical profession offers no hope of prompt relief and very little evidence of actual progress. “An untreated cold,” says the cynic, “lasts fourteen days; a treated cold can be cured in a fort- night"—and the situation so described is not far short of the truth. However, fresh aspects of an |ancient trouble are presented from time to time and there seems fo be some small measure of com- fort in an observation just made by Sir St. Clair Thomson to one of the sections of the Royal Society of Medicine. “The cold,” he said. “was one of the penalties paid for civilization, and might be a device of nature to vaccinate us against more serious evils,” Two forms of solace are thus opened up to the sufferer. He can gaze upon the civilization that surrounds us and reflect that there is no rose without a thorn and that catarrh three times a year may be the price of commercial supremacy; with av Then came a new era, a different and more sophisticated public. Its sporting news was old stuff when it reached the news stands. The woman. in tights on its front cover page wore too many garments for the educated readers. The sins it held up to view were pinkish in hue and lacked the vivid brilliance of those clothed in vermilion by its more progressive contemporaries. It had been a tamed “devil” for many years before its demise. \ HOTHOUSE EDUCATION.
